TEAKETTLE on THE LIKE.

Ap siica'tioii filed December 26, 1925.

to improvements havlng reference The objects attained in the invention are a closed heating vessel of this character in which a portion of the liquid will be heated quicker than the remaining portion, which will be more readily accessible as to its interior parts for cleanlng and the removal of the sediment which forms in heating vessels and whlch can be manuof this character factured and sold as a In the accompanying drawings tion is shown as a views which illust-ra he drawings, Fig.

the kettle and F view of the same.

As here low priced article.

the invenppliedto a teakettle 1n te its novel features.

In is a side elevation of 2 is a vertical sectional shown the improved kettle confeet 2 and provided with a lid 3. The lid is hinged to part a downwardly ext which fits the open the compression of as indicated at 4 and has ended flexible flange 5 top of part flange 5. Part 1 is fur- 1 snugly by ther provided with a bail 6 and a spout 7 The novel an inner container flanges 9-1O and a in the container support the inner features of the kettle consist in 8 provided with annular dapted to set freely with- 1, the flanges serving to container and to space it from the adjacent wall of the outer container.

' bottom as indica with an aperture 1 to permit the liqui to the outer container.

d to pass Part 8 is recessed inwardly atthe ted at 11 and is provided 2 in the recessed portion from the inner Part 8 is inclined downwardly at the top oppositely from spout 7, the higher front portion 13 of the wall adjacent the spout acting discharge from top edge when an angle to spout.

to prevent the inner container over its e kettle is tilted forward at discharge the liquid from the Liquid supplied to the kettle is delivered into the container tween the containers liquid ds at a level in both conmovement of the til the liquid stan 8; the annular space 1 1 be then fills by gravity through port 12 untainers, it being observed that there will be a heavier or deeper portion of the liquid in space 15 downwardly bottom 11 where the kettle.

adjacent the recessed heat is applied to the move gradually by Serial No. 77,827.

The liquid in the shallow space 14 of container 1 will heat quicker in container 1 or than would result in a single coi'itainer of like capacity, the greater depth of liquid in space 15 acting to protect the metal exposed to the heat in case of the liquid in the kettle falling below normal limits for heating. f

To afford convenient accessibility to the kettle for cleaning, etc., the top of container 1 is made full open, or provided with an opening large enoughv to permit of the free removal and replacement of the inner container in which the scale or sediment formation. under normal conditions of use will be soft and can easily be washed or scraped out. With the inner member removed the interior of the outer member is also accessible and can be in like manner conveniently cleaned.

It will be observed that the general design of the kettle lends itself to cheap processes of manufacturing, the parts 1, 3 and 8 being adapted for'sheet metal spinnings and all other parts for die format-ions.

Having described my invention, 1 claim:

1. A kettle comprising an outer container, an inner container reinovably supported in the outer container and adapted to be supplied with a liquid, the containers being spaced one from the other to form a narrow space therebetween, a port in the lower portion of the inner container for the liquid to gravity to said space, and means for discharging the liquid from said space only.

2- A kettle comprising anouter container, an inner container reinovably supported in the outer container and adapted to be supplied with a liquid, the containers being spaced one from the other to form a narrow space therebetween, a port in the lower portion of the inner container for the liquid to move restrictedly by gravity from the inner container and means to prevent overflow of liquid from the inner container as the kettle is turned at an angle to discharge liquid from the outer container.

3. A an inner container removably supported 1n the outer container and adapted to be supplied with a liquid, the containers being from the inner container to move by gravity than the liquid.

kettle comprising an outer container,

to said space, a spout communicating with said space and an upwardly extended wall of the inner container adjacent the spout acting to prevent overflow of liquid from the inner container as the kettle is turned at an angle to discharge liquid from the outer container through said spout.

4. A kettle comprising an outer container, an inner container removably supported in the outercontainer and adapted to be supplied with a liquid, the containers being spaced one from the other to form a narrow space therebetween, the inner container being recessed at the bottom to enlarge the portion of said space adjacent thereto, a port permitting liquid from the inner con tainer to move restrictedly by gravity only to said enlarged space, and means for discharging the liquid from the outer container only.

5. A kettle comprising an outer container closed by a lid, an inner container supported in the outer container and removable through the opening for said lid, the outer container having a spout andthe inner container an inclined up-turned, open end with its-highest point adjacent said spout and above the outlet opening from said outer container to said spout to prevent overflow of the liquid from the inner container as the kettle is tilted at an angle to discharge liquid from the outer container.

In testimony whereof, I afliX my signature.

ALBERT H. KEMPER.
